Listening to Your Suzuki Violin & Viola Music
Accessing the Suzuki violin and viola recordings is a critical element of your Suzuki Method education.
Here are different commonly used music apps and purchase options.
Mattix Music Studio recommends…
Purchase the music through Alfred Music or Amazon. That way you have the latest and best recordings.
What does Ms. Katie do personally?
Ms. Katie purchased all the albums from Alfred Music and downloaded the recordings to her devices. She uses Purple Play to slow down recordings as needed, but most of the time she uses the IMTEX website for slowed versions and small practice spots.

Books 1-3: Hilary Hahn, violin & Natalie Zhu, piano
Books 4-6: Augustin Hadelich, violin and Kuang-Hao Huang, piano
